Ah, finished the Prize set! A shade over 16 coins per for an average ... no way I'm dropping more coins just to win coins either. Had my fill of that diversion ... :p The comments here will contain a bit of a progress report throughout the week. I've made some headway on most of the seven Attractions I've started since setting Battle Quest and Blast down, and I'll gradually share.

Extra Stage. DUH-DA-TA-DA! I kept losing two hearts on the Inky Moves in the fifth (Final) Stage, but finally only made one damaging error in the terrifically technical 20 move Extra. I've had as many as 56 Perfects, and that 2260 High Score was massive. I've come to enjoy this pursuit enough that some day I'll go after the 70 Perfects. Separate post forthcoming for this triumphant screen ...

Closing in on Stage 5, again shifting to the Pikmin from Olimar, but here because the Hammer Seed charge move clears the huge boxes out of the way to the big Pumphog ... I think I can handle working on Mastering one of these a day for now. They're pretty intense, and semi-flukey. I will head back to Yoshi's, and maybe Captain Falcon's, seeking magical Stamp number 40, once this is rectified.

Congrats on your first fully stamped attraction! I'm a big ol' fan of Nintendo Land -- playing it at a friend's house was what convinced me to get my Wii U. I'm just glad to see someone else appreciating it like I do! As for spoilers, the game doesn't hold too many secrets (though plenty of easter eggs!) so there's not much to give away, though I try to edge on the side of caution at your behest.

I'm really eager to see if you fully complete Takamaru's or Capt. Falcon's attractions. Those are the only two that I haven't perfected. If you clear them then I'll take it as a personal challenge for me to do the same! Speaking of Capt. Falcon's game, you can apparently tap the screen to use the brakes. I've never found a use for it, but I've heard that it can help a bit for the no-damage clear.

You're on Benjamin, although never touching anything in this race ... wow, I can see how that eludes you. Very daunting. I'm horrible at Takamaru's, so that's a ways off. Strange run to finally break through the Extras of Twister here - I missed the first star, so I didn't bother looking for the fourth. Pleased as punch though, Captain Falcon pun intended ...

The craziest thing about the run was when I reached Area 12 (second time ever :p), I made a random decision to look at the teevee the whole time. Worked like a charm. I will try to employ this method on all the straightaway sections of the Extra Course tomorrow hunting for that fourth star. Productive day at the park! Opened the extras in Yoshi's, moved up from two to four Platinum Trophies, and

reached my goal for the week early with 40 total Stamps, thanks in big part to my roommate's son joining in on Tuesday and exposing me to the multiplayer exclusive material. Enthused by this progress, my plan for Friday beyond finding that star includes: reaching the end of Breeze's and Yoshi's Extras, Master another Pikmin Challenge Stage, and playing a lot of multiplayer with the youngster.

I'm going off my plan a bit, with a feeble excuse to mend an error in reporting. I went from one Platinum to three yesterday, and moved my Silver on Fruit Cart to Gold. However, I've been jonesing for Crash Course all week, so there's a fourth Plat. :p Finally survived the initial move on the third board, looks like a doozy of a remix of the first course from there ...

I did snag a couple of Stamps before exploring the skip in Area 6 on the initial course(tough!), and then getting reacquainted with the fiendish latter sections of the second course before my third attempt brought home the DK hardware. Found that 4th star on Twister (devious but simple hiding spot) for one, then dabbled in Fruit Cart for the “3 Close Calls” get ...

Oh! So close to seeing the fourth course ... It appears they took the easier move away in Area 10, and definitely remodeled Area 7 to force the intended route, but other than the initial move, the third course isn't that bad. I should be looking at that elusive fourth board soon!

You're making some nice progress! You seem to be having an easier time with it than I did.

Thanks 'doer, also for the requested Stamp-related spoiler on the other post. Slowing down and going for all the bananas (I just had to ask, because trying it that way or death free are two very different things) has gotten me to the fourth course, all fruit collected so far. The other move does still work in Area 10, d'oh. If I pull both things off, will I get both Stamps at once?

The plot thickens! I believe I can do it, but it will take a few trips here to learn the new wrinkles ... and thus, running with shortcuts and not getting every banana becomes an appealing option, nyuk nyuk. Wow, what an Attraction! Now I have to make a choice ...

And just like that, now I don't have to decide. Ah, they should have made it for all four, really stuck it to us, but this does give me new hope for Captain Falcon's Twister if the pattern holds ...

Unfortunately, the pattern does not hold. I had a perfect run of the first 12 F-Zero stages, and no dice. For that matter, I had no clue that stamp could be earned for only the first two (or three?) boards in DK. I thought it had to be all of them...

Many Miis trapped in a rolling tripod of death went to their demise last time I reached Area 3 of the fourth course. I'm equipped with 11 little Stagger heads this time, and hoping to get through ... I got curious Nintendoer, but couldn't find anywhere online that stipulated how far you had to get with all bananas in tow for the fifth Stamp. Had to be careful not to spoil anything new to me ...

Apparently, Perfect Run is for collecting all the bananas AND not losing any lives on the first two boards. Makes sense. But I had the requirements wrong all this time...

Bambalam! In the words sung so beautifully by Etta James ... At last, my love has come along! I'll make a separate post for the five Stamp moment like I did with the Dance, and spare the comment here. I knew DK's would dominate my day if I resumed it, but it was sweet. Butchered on section of the fourth course, and came in w/ five minutes to spare. Barely escaped - had to be pretty clutch!

Nice! That's two down! Oddly enough, you're actually clearing these single player attractions in the same order that I did. Next up should be Balloon Trip if you keep up the pattern.

About these Extras in Fruit Cart ... yowza! My plan was foiled today, but all that DK was worth it. Young fellow went to the movies instead, and I didn't touch Breeze or Pikmin yet, and probably won't until late night tomorrow. With my work weekend on the horizon, and about to use my last comments, I'll have to cave in and craft an alt soon. As always, thanks for the support guys!
